(It* McGe? in Ander?on Muil About 2 y?ara ago I sold Jay Byrd a i'Ow for $107.50, Jay paid me ?? 60 cash ami promised to puy the butane ? in 30 days. This cow was a fill? reg istered animal and Jay sold him for $125.00 all cash. 1 waited on Jay th allotted SO days, but 1 failed to get j my money. 1 waited 10 month> long er and spent many days making trips to Jay's house for the purpose of collecting this debt, but Jay remained steadfast, and paid me not. So 1 proposed to hire mo a lawyer. ! You coujd get a good lawyer then for $25.00 retainer. I sued Jay. . The cost of the papers and serving the complaint amounted to $9.55. Jay answered my complaint and swore h owed him $120.00 and I guaranteed tbfc, cow not to butt and he butted Jay down the second day after he bought him. Well, we went to law. I got a good judge to pass sentence on the evU dence. I dlan't have to pay the judge, but judges wore being hired then for about 10 dollars a day, being almost two-thirds as much, as a bricklayer was getting, He had a first-class court stenographer who was pulling down about 7 dollars a day, being about one-half as much.^s a plusterer got for 8 hours work. It seemed that the court had sent out in t))e highways and by-ways and brought in 12 men to serve on tho jury, each of which got,, about $1.50 a day, being about 25 percent of what a plumber got for a regulation day's work, The whole jury cost only about $18.00, but they stuck the court for dinner. I thought they were a little bit high, too. Jay's lawyer stung him for about 10 dollars for the day's work, being about the average price paid a good automobile mechanic ? for adjusting carburetors. There were about 24 more dollars-and-a-half jurors sitting around the court room waiting for us to get through swearing ansoforth. There were also about 50 or 60 men sitting around in the auditorium lis i tening to. the evidence arid the speeches. Most any of these guys could have been earning 75 cents a day if they craved work. i I brought up my ten witnesses, but they got nothing for testifying, and were hardly worth that. Jay had 15 witnesses and most of them swore that I knew that bull would hook and that he was dangerous, and was known all over the community as a fence buster and a man killer, and that I just sold him to Jay so's he'd hook the lard out of him as I didn't like, him because he shot' 1 of my hound dogs 10 or 15 years ago. Jay turned out to be the leading member in Saint Paul's church, prayed in pub lic, and was also a tither. (As a matter of fact he rarely ever attended church, when he did go he hung around outside till the collection was taken, and if the Lord's work ever got a dime out of him nobody ever found it out). It was a hard fought ease. The jury sweated and squirmed and the judge looked on constantly with much interest. Me and Jay and that bull' had certainly stirred up something. I was afraid our lawyers were going to fight. They didn't shoot the bull in question, but they shot it just the same. The trial started at 9 a.m. and at 5:30 p^m,' the judge charged the jury. The jury retired at 5:59 p.m. and they stayed retired for a Jong time. I sat out in the court room, rest less, uneasy, worried and my mouth was so dry I couldn't spit and my head was swimming, and I was in an all-round bad fix, but that jury juried right on. About 2:35 a.m., the fol lowing morning they came out, the Judge was phoned tof but he eouldn't get over to the court, house that night, so a sealed verdict was handed to the deputy. I went home. Couldn't sleep. Never spent such a night. Under stand Jay was in the same fix. The witnesses didn't seem to give a darn, but believe me, my goat was got. I was at the court house at 7:30 the next morning. Court opened at 9 o'clock. The judge put on his kimonn, walked up into the pulpit, and asked the clerk to read the verdict and he read as follows: "We the jury have failed to agree and it's a mistrial." There I was: my bull gone, done swore and sweated my self half to death and the whole thing to be gone over again. The total cost so far to all concerned was $768.25 exclusive of the eost of the chairs that the jury broke up. Jay still owes me, and we are waiting on the supreme court to say why. That's all.

Senators Charge Large Crop For fount Wrong and Aids Gambler*. Washington, Oct. 26.- The depart ment of agriculture estimate indicat ing u cotton yield thi.s year of 15,226,* 0o6 bales, drew fire today from two ^?nfttoru from cotton producing states. Senator Caraway, Democrat, Ark ansas, declared that any one who i?* acquainted with conditions in the be.t this season fealiaes that there are "not 15,220,000 bales or anything ap proaching that tlgure of spinnablc cotton in the Southern states this year." Senator Harris, Democrat, Georgia, expressed doubt that the final figure for the season woulil exceed 14,000, 000 bales. Charging that the government seemed to lend itself to every move ment to depress the price of cotton, Senator Caraway declared, 4'it is time to referm or abolish the department of agriculture which has lent itself consciously or unconsciously, to every gambling raid on the farms of the South and West." "I shall myself (introduce a bill to meet this situation when Confess meets a month hence," he added, and "I shall demand immediate consider ation of it. The bill t will urge -will make gambling in uH farm products a crime with penalties to serve that none will have the temerity to violate It/* '' *',*.? .-?*$ Scnavor Caraway charged that "to every one it must be apparent that intentionully or otherwise these cot ton reports have this year cost the cotton growers of America not less than a quarter of a billion dollars. "Whenever there is an apparent recovery of the cotton market, the bureau of crop statistics of the de partment of agriculture gives out an estimate many thousand of bales in excess of the wildest hopes of bear element of the cotton gambling fraternity. "It is not worth while to look to the department of agriculture and the cotton exchanges of )New York and New Orlearts for relief1 from these raids of the speculators 011 the cotton growers.''' If the government and the bear interests-were in actual alliance they could not cooperate more effectively to destroy the values of the cotton growing industry. "It is sincerely to be hoped that the coming Congress will end all laws legalizing gambling in farm pro ducts." Senator Harris declared^ in a state ment that he believes the crop re porting board has been influenced un duly in giving too much consideration to the ginning figures issued by the census bureau. He said that not ten per cent, of Georgia's cotton crop re mained to be ginned on the date fixed in the ginning report adding "it is ab surd to think that over one third of the cotton crop of the belt vet re mains to be ginned." "The greatest drought in seventy years covering an extensive area of the cotton belt together with early planting, high fertilization and rapid cultivation on the part thq farm ers in an effort to beat the boll weevil which they have evidently done suc cessfully, has contributed to making thirf* year's cotton crop mature one of the earliest on record," said Senator Harris, "and I seriously doubt if the i final figures will exceed 14,000,000 bales. It appears as if it is to become necessary to have the crop reporting I board composed of men residing in I the cotton belt who are more inti mately acquainted with conditions, in cluding all features contributing to cultivating, gathering and marketing | the cotton crop."

I>. I'ittman by a federal prohibit tion agent in Heaufort county last May is of more gruvtyjp concern, po>> sibi> , than it is to ih?- now?pa|>er.?, or the man who keeps fully abreast of current events. It is a long stoiv, but to sum il up in a few words the officers, accord ing to the testimony adduced at thj trial, had information of the e\pect of a shipload of whiskey in that vicinity.' Seeing what they took to be a .signal they approached Pitt man's boat, his home, which w*t stationary on stocks; ami, supposing it to be the boat referred to in their source of information, they climbed aboard Without warning. The hour was about midnight and when they were discovered by the owner of the boat, who occupied it as his home, he fired upon them. They returned tlje fire, shooting him dead. In defense of the agent it was testified by mem bers of bis party that the boarding party, on seeing Pitt man rush for his gun, called to him that they were pro hibition agent-* or officers. If they did, he may have -heard them and ho may- not. If he did hoar them he had no way of knowing they were telling the truth or not. He may have be lieved them to be robbers. Pittinan had no whiskey for barter. Less than a quart >vn* found in hi* boat. Apparently there was no rea son for him to resist search. Aroused at the midnight hour by several men crawling along the deck of? M?-boai, he shot. And lie was shot down, shot by officials within tho law, so much within the law that a federal judgo does not permit the case against the slayer to go to the .jury. So there you* are. As the Greenville News expresses it, "This case may be peculiar to the prohibition law. The effort to en force it thoroughly appears to make necessary the taking of a human life now and then." But as the Columbia State puts it, "This much may be set down with certainty. Though ten thousand men may be killed by agents in circum stances similar to those in which the poor and friendless trapper, Pittman, was slain, arid though not one killer suffer the penalty of an hour's in carceration, each such killing will make more difficult the enforcement, of prohibition." The truth is, each such killing will make more difficult the enforcement of all Jaw, for it undermines in the hearts of men a wholesome respect for law. More than that, each such killing tends to confirm a belief al ready too common, that the law is on the side of the man in authority, or the mail of wealth, or 9 f influence. ? Anderson Mail. The Cotton Report. The government's fortnightly cot ton estimate gives the trade another surprise,, but it is at lenst consistent in a way with its last report. Two weeks ago the official cotton seances reported a gain of 800,000 bales, this time the mediums see nearly 500, 000 more. Probably two weeks hence we shall huvc a sixteen million bale crop. ' ? If the present estimate of 15,22G,000 bales is anywhere near right, how ever, then the official estimators were badly off two weeks ago, for little, if any additional cotton has been pro duced in the last two weeks. The ginnings total of nine and a half million bales seems high. Lan year on the same date ? October 18? over seven and a half million bales had hw?n ginned, which was 55 peiv. cent of the total crop. If the same percentage of total has been ginned this year, there would be no doubt of a tremendously large crop. Cotton picking and ginnings have been un usually early this year, however, and there are many who believe that at least three-fourths of the crop has been pickcd and ginned. The final production figures on this year's crop will provide some interesting data with which to compare the govern ment's checkered career of cotton prognosticating through the present season. Meanwhile cotton drops over a cent a pound on the market*. ? Greenville News.

He was superintendent of the ho&pitul when the oldest patient now living there was admitted and has met tin'' others one by one as they came in.
